Sharing is Caring

What does one do when one has one cake but more than one celebration? hmm... Today, we figured it out.

Lemon water

Yesterday I saw this lemon flavoured water in a convenience shop and got so excited! I immediately bought a bottle.


Could it be the same as the Volvic lemon water?

Gosh, I love this stuff. I had this everyday when I spent that measly few days in France. It tasted like really good mineral water from the Alps (no less) with a slight lemon-y taste. Refreshing and cooling. Comes is lotsa other flavours as well but the Lemon one is the sugar-free one. Love, love it. My college classmates will understand this. :)


Anyways, I tasted the Tinge flavoured water and then got sooooo disappointed I couldn't go on. It has sugar in it! Killjoy. Might as well fizz out an old bottle of Pop Spritzer and drink it. It is the sugar that kills them both. Might as well drink Coke!


I wonder if Volvic Lemon water is ever going to be brought in. This drink actually motivates me to drink more water. And it is not sweet and therefore I suppose better than sipping regular sodas. I want! Can some mineral water distributors do something? I'm pretty sure there will be a market here. Infuse some Vitamin C in it and voila! Or at least, claim to have some Vit C. Go, distributors! Go!


*anyways, there have been talk about how Lee Chong Wei was not performing at all.. etc etc. I mean, he is all we talk about at the water cooler, lifts, ladies, pantry, boardroom etc. Anyways, well, I guess it is easy to love winners and easy to criticise people who lost. And it is easy to take the easy way. I stand by the fact that, well, he got silver!

Cheering on Lee Chong Wei

I just came back from a mamak where I was cheering together with hundreds of other patrons for Lee Chong Wei in the Olympic badminton men singles finals against Lin Dan of China.

Go, Chong Wei! Go!


Everytime he scores, the whole mamak erupts into cheers and claps. Every single time! But of course that is just about 20 times throughout the game. I have never experience this before. I guess football fans do it all the time and I never did understand but now I know how it feels like. It is nice.

It is amazing how sports can inspire this sense of belonging. Everyone comes together. We were cheering like as if he could hear us hundreds of miles away.

Chong Wei didn't win but it's OK. You're still my fave sports hero! (As in, you top Kimi Raikonen anytime!) :D I'm going to play more badminton now because of you.


I once blogged about sitting at a table next to him in a Dim Sum restaurant and I couldn't place who is he until he left. How stupid! This was about 2 years back. I kept on telling people, "Hey! I had dim sum next to Lee Chong Wei before, OK!" And then AhBin will tell me that his parents are his parents neighbour. etc etc. Trying to outdo each other in knowing him more that the other.

Now, if I see him anywhere at all, I'll make sure I squel, take a photo with him and have him autograph something and then give him a great big hug. *nod*.

Sweeeeet

bliss on a plate.

Crispy waffle with chocolate ice-cream and loads of choc sauce, choc chip and choc rice, flower-shaped marshmallows, juicy strawberries and cheesecake with choc cookie base. Aiyo. Can't breathe.

wong ah WAH

I've been pretty busy still but I felt a responsibilty to blog about this good food discovery.

Preface:

I've been taking my health seriously! I actually have been jogging and playing badminton! And hopefully will continue to do so regularly. Cool stuff. No pictures at the moment because I guess working out seems to be like such a cherished activity that even I didn't think of taking photos. My work out buddies a.k.a. colleagues and I have to work our jogging time around work time.


Let me paint you a picture with random snippets (no names shall be mentioned!):

"5.28pm. I'll be back in a while! Don't go without me!" *and then come back at 6.00pm

"It is 5.25pm, OMG OMG OMG, we promised 5.30pm. No, 2 more minutes, let me send this last 2 e-mails. 5.29pm. Argh!! gimme 5 more minutes!! 5.35pm. Argh!! one more e-mail! Let me save my documents! Argh!! 6.00pm."

"Better not dampen our spirits! Let's go!!"

"Argh! Where's my other sock!! You! Go photocopy this! Argh! My hairband!! "


So, that's, like, our warm up session lor.


It is good to give our heart some pre-amp pumping before the real heart pumping.


So last Monday, after a really good sweat-fest, we played host to one of our colleagues from Manila. We brought him to this restaurant/stall on Jalan Alor. Blink an eye and you will miss it but it is unmistakably in front of Royale Bintang. That's the best I can describe it. :)


All the precious minutes spent on the running tracks were duly cancelled by each juicy, savoury chicken wing which was a favourite with everyone. Superb.

Well, clearly the chicken wings were their Star Product

The noodles dishes were very good. Both Hokkien mee and roasted pork mee were very yummee. No stinging on ingredients here.

The lala was yummy too. Vege was cooked just right and fresh. Satay was pretty juicy. And if you notice, at time of snapping, some chicken wings were already MIA. The grilled stringray (not in pic) was done to perfection too and OH, did I love their sambal. *happy contented high pitched sigh*



Btw, I'm currently going for Adobe Flash training. Wheee! Now, I'll have to find out how to publish my little homeworks here. :D

putrajaya

Just a random update!

I went to Putrajaya on Sunday night for a makan angin ride and found the place to be so pretty.


Will feature more photos... I accidentally deleted quite a few photos. Need to dig around to see if I have a back up somewhere. -_-
